Review: Installation - Having difficulty installing the software
Review: EDIT: Since I bought and use this scanner, I'm now getting questions. People ask questions that are not really related to the SCANNER but more to the SOFTWARE that you use. Things such as file formats, OCR, etc. If you are on a Macintosh you use either the native Image Capture App, or a 3rd party one that I don't know about. (VueScan does not support the Viisan). This scanner is tabloid size so that's the size it takes up on your desk. It's NOT any noisier or quieter than any other scanner I've used, but I will say the "overview" pre-scan is a bit noisier than the actual scanning which is fairly quiet. There's negative commentary about LINES or missing pixels; these are not inherent to the scanner itself (design flaw) but to the specific unit YOU received. Got lines? Return it for an exchange. Mine's fine. I've attached four scans here. All done with Mac Image Capture. First is a brochure with "descreening" box ticked. Second is old deteriorating paper art from 1977; those grooves are the paper not the scanner. Third is an old photo from 1949, original. Fourth is the same photo after a few clicks in Photoshop. I will say that every photo I've ever scanned--on this scanner or with my now gone Epson Perfection V500 Photo--has been "dark" and needed work in Photoshop. That's without exception. This Viisan scanner is on par with my old Epson, good enough for most work. If you are a photo retouching professional, and need something this big, you probably would spring for an Epson at 4x the cost. Now onto the original review: There's a limited market for tabloid or "B" sized scanners; mostly graphic designers with perhaps scrapbookers. Most scanners of this sized are significantly more costly, such as the Epson 12000XL which is well over $3,000; this unit is under $500, thus a fraction of the price of the competition. Well, it stands up quite well. I tested it against my V500 Photo, and results were exceedingly close, and I cannot say one was better than the other. It's fast in scanning, easy to connect by USB. Would be nice if there were an Ethernet port instead as I seem to be maxing out my USB ports in number or power. (USB hubs don't work well.) I only used it with the Macintosh Image Capture application, and it's fine. I was hoping that Viisan would have made their Viiscan software for the Macintosh (majority of graphic designers use Macs of course) but they have not--a strategic error since it appears as if the Viiscan offers features that the Image Capture does not. I have not tried any 3rd party software. Overall exceeded my expectations. If you need tabloid size scanning and don't have thousand$ to spend you will not be disappointed.

## Features

*by G***. on 16 February 2025*

Large format is nice and it scans fast, but Image quality is poor if you are scanning printed images (magazines, brochures, etc...) It said it could handle high quality artwork images and photos and technically, it can, but the resulting scans are useless if you want to do anything with those images, be it printing or posting online. Also, none of the software works with a Mac, you have to use the built in Image Capture app.
